Production of Thor: The Dark World

Behind-the-scenes: Thor The Dark World

Walt Disneys second episode of the superhero film Thor (“Thor The Dark World”) is coming out in 2013. As the first episode the casts consists of great number of Hollywood actors as Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster.

I was very happy when I heard that Marvel Studios decided to film at the lovely Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, next to the Cutty Sark and not far away from our studios in Deptford. So I decided to have a quick look to behind the scenes to get an impression of the production process. I definitely was not the only one with this idea, tourists and students accompanied me and were taking pictures. As usual London it was cold and rainy, but nevertheless lots of people were attracted by this happening.

In the second episode of Thor the superhero battles again to save the Nine Realms from an old enemy. During my visit at the recordings I saw this mysterious race, which tends to lead the universe into darkness. On the pictures you can see the actors searching for the right position.

About an hour later I was lucky to see Thor flying in the air, it all happened next to a burning car.Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures from this scene. Everything happened too fast and the guardians warned me not to take pictures any more.
